Leukocyte count as an independent predictor of recurrent ischemic events.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Inflammatory markers predict first-time ischemic events. We investigated whether leukocyte and differential counts predict recurrent events and ischemic events in high-risk populations, and whether such events are preceded by acutely exacerbated inflammation. METHODS We studied 18 558 patients with ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, or peripheral arterial disease w...
متن کاملserum uric acid as an independent predictor of recurrence in ischemic stroke patients
background and purpose: the relationship between uric acid and stroke recurrence is ambiguous. some studies have explored this relationship in acute ischemic stroke but had different results. we evaluated the association of admission uric acid level with risk of stroke recurrence in patients with ischemic stroke. methods: we studied ischemic stroke patients presenting to our hospital with magne...
متن کاملLeukocyte count as a predictor of cardiovascular events and mortality in postmenopausal women: the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study.
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence supports a role for inflammation in the atherosclerotic process. The role of the leukocyte count as an independent predictor of risk of a first cardiovascular disease (CVD) event remains uncertain. Our objective was to describe the relation between the baseline white blood cell (WBC) count and future CVD events and mortality in postmenopausal women. METHODS In t...
متن کاملUrinary albumin excretion. An independent predictor of ischemic heart disease.
Cross-sectional studies suggest that an increased urinary albumin excretion rate is associated with cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. The purpose of this study was to analyze prospectively whether the urinary albumin-to -creatinine (A/C) ratio can independently predict ischemic heart disease (IHD) in a population-based cohort. In 1983, urinary albumin and creatinine levels...
متن کاملPlasma brain natriuretic peptide as an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality after acute ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We investigated whether the plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level on admission can serve as a biological marker of in-hospital death in patients with acute ischemic stroke. METHODS We prospectively enrolled 335 consecutive patients (125 females; mean age, 72.3 years) with acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours of onset and measured plasma BNP on admission. Patient...
